Are YOU a vampire or some other creature who relies on the consumption of blood? Are YOU growing bored with the same texture and taste, day in and day out? Do YOU need something new to drink while reading the fifth anniversary edition of yves.'s Something's Not Right? Try mixing sustenance with energy by adding blood to your coffee! Some humans mix protein powder into their morning brew, so why should things be any more difficult for you? Here are five ideas to get you started!
Let's start simple! A latte is something that lots of folks can enjoy, with just a little foam on top for that change in texture so many search for! On top of that, it's endlessly customizable; you can leave it as-is if you'd like to really keep that taste of iron on your tongue, or you can add in flavor syrups to spice things up! Plus, wouldn't little fangs drawn with milk on the top be simply adorable?
Speaking of endlessly customizable! The only requirements for an iced coffee are simply that: ice and cold coffee. Those who enjoy the taste of blood but want a little change can keep it simple, while those who want to cover it up can pour in cream, sugar, and flavor syrups to their heart's content! As a bonus, this drink can easily be poured into a tumbler for those on-the-go.
For those with a bit of a sweet tooth! This drink is traditionally served over vanilla ice cream, but we say why not try something a little different? Why not chocolate for a sort of mocha flavor, or cherry to go with the blood you're pouring in? If you're feeling fancy, you can even save a little blood for the end to drizzle on top like a syrup!
Here's something decadent, and still quite customizable! Frappes come in many different flavors, and as they are basically a coffee milkshake, they're perfect for those summer days when you aren't really in the mood for warm blood trailing down your throat. Plus, who doesn't like chasing something down with a large helping of whipped cream?
I mean, come on. We HAD to include freakshakes! They're all the rage these days, and talk about decadent! For the blood-drinking influencer who really wants to conceal the blood in their meal, and who may still have a taste for the sweet things from their old life.
Do you think you'll try any of these drinks? Which was your favorite? Do you have any suggestions to break up the monotony of blood-drinking? Let us know in the comments and reblogs, and don't forget to pick up a copy of Something's Not Right, out October 10th, 2023!
